Using the USB 2.0 capture device captures a full-screen video from the VCR to the computer, which is ideal for editing and recording to other devices. The size of full-screen videos are typically the NTSC standard size of 640x820. However, you can use a simpler video to USB cable if you only need a small-sized video capture.
